What can cause red, brown, or orange stains on items in contact with tap water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nIron can produce rusty brown stains on plumbing fixtures, fabrics, dishes, and utensils when it combines with oxygen in the water (Manual of Small Public Water Supply Systems; EPA570-9-91-003; May 1991). Iron also produces a noticeable bitter or metallic taste in water, food, and beverages such as coffee and tea. The daily nutritional requirement for iron is 1-2 mg, yet the average diet contains 16 mg (National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations; EPA570-9-76-000; June 1984). The amount of iron causing staining or objectionable taste is a small fraction of the normal daily intake and does not have toxicological significance (42 FR<\/span> 17143, 17144; March 31, 1977). EPA set a non-enforceable secondary maximum contaminant level of 0.3 mg\/L in order to prevent aesthetic effects (e.g., staining, taste).<\/p>\n
